    mystery forks

    So I got my hands on a parts bike cheat for my 77 gs750.
    The parts bike is a 78. I primarly wanted it for the front forks and dual disk set up. When I got the forks out and tried to slide them into my triple they would not fit. Acording to specs they should be the same. So I looked at the parst bike tree and the previous owner had groung the tree to accomidate the new forks. What I know about there are the bottom half looks exactly the same, same caliper mounts, same axle mount, same drain plug. The differences are in the top. First they are 1mm larger in diameter, I want to say they were 46mm, but all I remember is they are 1mm wider than the originals. Second instead of a hex at the top it has a 1/2 drive square. Finally instead of 2 springs it only has one spring per fork.
    Any ideas what these are, or what year they are from.

    I suspect they may not even be close to what you have. They could even be from another manufacturer. Any part numbers on them you can see?

          What size tubes do you have there? 46mm? is that diameter. My GS1000's are 35mm across. Could be that somebody put a 1000's tubes into a 750 yoke (triple tree's?) 1000's had only one spring inside, a small shaped cap follow by a small tube at the top. Some of the caps differ dependant on model. Late GS1000 haad air assistance here in the UK while the GSX tops were square with a screw inthe middle of the square section.
